Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb ground turkey 93/7 lean recommended
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Method
 

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion, cooking until the mushrooms are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the pan, breaking it up as it cooks through, roughly 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any extra fat.
  4. Mix in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly.
  5. Gradually add the fresh spinach, stirring until it has all wilted, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat and blend in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Serve hot right away.

Notes

  • For best taste, let the mushrooms brown deeply before adding the other ingredients. You can swap the turkey for ground chicken or beef if you prefer. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
